On the 17 May, The Brookvent team participated in Habitat for Humanity Shack Attack 2014. Set in Wallace Park, Lisburn, six teams were challenged to build a shelter for the night from scavenged materials in order to experience the hardships felt by millions throughout the world.
Despite a bit of rain, the event was thoroughly enjoyed by all the team. To date, we have raised over £400. Thanks to everyone for your support. If you would like to make a donation, please visit the Brookvent Just Giving page:
